Your Thinking is Concrete and Random

You are naturally inquisitive and curious.

You're excited by new ideas, and you are a true independent thinker.

You are interested in what is possible. You like the process of discovery.

You are often experimenting, challenging old ideas, and inventing new concepts.

Rules, restrictions, and limit don't really work for you.

You have to do things your own way, and you can't be bothered to explain yourself.

6. Take this quiz - What Kind of Thinker Are You?

Your Thinking is Abstract and Sequential

You like to do research and collect lots of information.

The more facts you have, the easier it is for you to learn.

You need to figure things out for yourself and consider all possibilities.

You tend to become an expert in the subjects that you study.

It's difficult for you to work with people who know less than you do.

You aren't a very patient teacher, and you don't like convincing people that you're right.

1. They say elephants never forget. Would you compare your memory to that of an elephant or gnat?

A very very small elephant with wings that buzzez around your face.

3. What kinds of things do you find it difficult to remember?

Number sequences. then names.

4. How does your short-term memory compare to your long-term memory?

They are both equally unreliable

5. How do you commit things to memory? Do you use tricks, songs, images, word associations, or other little mnemonics?

Images. I can remember a set of numbers better if I actually visualize those numbers in my mind. If I need to remember a task or something, I tell someone else to remind me - even if they forget (and they usually do), I find that the act of telling someone else reinforces the reminder and I will remember.

Otherwise, the best bet is to write it down.
